The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Channel 5 are again sharing the warmth through the fifth annual 5 Cares Coat Drive.

The drive started Monday with Cintas donating 1,000 new coats valued at $45,000.

City Dash is providing pick-up and delivery service for the drive, which runs through Nov. 21.

"With the generous support of Cincinnatians, we hope to collect more than 4,000 coats to help our neighbors in need to stay warm during the cold winter months,'' said Liz Carter, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul.

Matt Faig, a senior at Lakota East High School, earned the Jim Davidson Memorial Journalism Scholarship Award in recognition of his accomplishments while working on the high school news magazine. The $500 award was given at the Gloria Shield All-American Journalism Workshop in July in Dallas.

Matt currently serves as the co-editor in chief of the Spark, a 64-page monthly magazine published for students and the surrounding community. He is the son of Nina and Tom Faig of West Chester Township.
